Migrating File System in VNX

Question

Hello  All,   I have a file system  named ' server_dr' created from 4+1 Raid 5 NL-SAS pool and I want to migrate it to a R6 NL-SAS Pool. The file system is currently used as  destination for replication session from VNXe. Can you please let me know how I  can migrate the file system  to the new pool without affecting the replication If I stop the replication ( for 1-2 days)  and copy the data from  existing filer system  to new and recreate the replication session, will it do only the  incremental or start  the full replication Which  tool I should use to copy replicator, San copy or nas_copy Is there any option of LUN migration similar to one in block The is a VNX 5300 Unified running 7.1.55-3 Regards, D

Hi,

If you create a new replication session it will start a full copy, hence i would suggest you to create a new file system from new R6 NL-SAS drive and start a new replication session using the file system from R6 pool.
